AGREEMENT IN THE FORM OF AN EXCHANGE OF LETTERS

between the European Community and the Republic of Chile concerning amendments to Appendix VI
of the Agreement on Trade in Wines annexed to the Association Agreement between the European
Community and its Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Chile, of the other part

LETTER No 1

Letter from the European Community

Brussels, 24 April 2006

Sir,

I have the honour to refer to meetings related to technical adaptations which have been held in accordance
with Article 29(2) of the Agreement on Trade in Wines annexed to the Association Agreement between the
European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Chile, of the other part, of
18 November 2002, which provides that the Contracting Parties may, by mutual consent, amend Appendi-
ces to this Agreement to take account of any amendments to the laws and regulations of the Parties.

In these meetings it has been concluded that some Chilean trademarks that coincides with the Community
geographical indications must be incorporated into Appendix VI (List of trade marks referred to in Article 7).

I have therefore the honour to propose that Appendix VI to the Agreement on Trade in Wines be replaced
by the Appendix attached hereto, with effect as of today’s date.

I should be obliged if you would confirm that your Government is in agreement with the content of this
letter.

Please accept, Sir, the assurance of my highest consideration.

On behalf of the European Community
